MMA radio show set to debut on Sports Radio 1450/1510 AM

Cumulus Media in Beaumont debuted the first and only sports sta­tion in Southeast Texas on April 1 — Sports Radio 1450/1510 AM — which is a flagship sta­tion of the Houston Astros, Houston Tex­ans, Texas A&M Aggie football and programs such as Jim Rome. The station will next introduce its first local program, “Fight Night with Chad Cooper,” a weekly one-hour show focused on the world of mixed martial arts and pro wrestling.

“We are very excited to welcome ‘Fight Night Radio’ hosted by Chad Cooper to the new Sports Radio 1450-1510 AM,” said Brandin Shaw, operations manager of Cumulus Beaumont. “I am looking forward to hearing Chad share his expertise of the octagon and squared circle to our sports listeners here in Southeast Texas.”

The show will air every Thursday from 5-6 p.m. on the radio dial of 1450 AM, 1510 AM and streamed live online at sportsradiobeaumont.com.

The debut show will feature interviews with Beaumont MMA pro fighter Cody Williams and Eric Scallan, a pro MMA fighter who is a contestant on Bellator's current reality show "Fight Master" on Spike TV.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We’re of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
